Mercedes Benz is planning a new supercar, but this time it will not have anything to do with McLaren. A new step-sibling for the McLaren-Mercedes SLR (photo above) will be built by HWA AG, a spin-off of Mercedes Benz’s AMG performance arm.
The new car will compete with Audi’s R8 as well as BMW’s upcoming competitor for the R8. It will be powered by an existing 6.2 litre V8 from AMG’s stables, and will carry the Mercedes AMG badge.
HWA AG is mainly a race and sports car manufacturer for now, and it’s race-built cars, naturally based on Mercedes Benz models, have been particularly successful in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, or German Touring Car Championship).

Shy on you Mr Paul Tan. You are so materialistic. You sacrifice your blog for BMW advertisement only for the money. You are not the real man who love your blog. All of the audience of your blog now "sakit mata" with your advertisement in this blog… If you want money, go to work la…ok.
huhu irkeez..what wrong with the ads..just leave it there..not all visitor dont like to watch the ads..
i think all website now have an ads..
yeah….no need to be so tough on him…..if its only u and nobody cared about it….just leave it alone….
Ooh la la…AMG'ed SLR is tasty enough but to be derived again from an AMG state is simply mind boggling.This HWA AG must be some highly respectable tuner.Man…
BW, you're lucky.At least you get to see a real one.I only get to see it in pictures. So, have you seated in it already? Ecstatic man…
Sorry to all. I just want to make sure this blog will be the best in their way. I just give a comment. Don't you see the 300×250 BMW advertisement in the first page already disturb the arrangement of this blog. Don't you see it…. "Sakit Mata La".
i think this Irkeez must hav some personnel issue problem mental problem…hey Irkeez, take ur medicine yet?go hav ur medicine ok?
Irkeez: Sorry if it has inconvenienced you. How is it sakit mata? Do give me more details. I am sure there is a way for the ad to exist and to be not sakit mata at the same time, otherwise the whole internet publishing industry will not work.
Contrary to what you've mentioned, I love my blog so much that I have 3 hosting accounts, with one of them being a dedicated server to keep up with the bandwidth and traffic requirements. Sure, I could use services like Flickr, Imageshack, or Photobucket to host the images, as well as Youtube to host the videos, but as we all know TMNet Streamyx is really bad with the international speeds. So for the benefit of the viewers, I host them all myself in servers that are in Malaysia. You have to wait ages to stream Youtube videos, but not with the videos on this site.
Hosting currently costs over RM700 a month, which is more than what I am paying for my car loan, putting it into perspective. I hope you understand that keeping this site free and fast costs money. Even with all of that expenditure for hosting, the site still went down for a few hours during the day after the Perodua Viva launch. It is growing, and I need the revenue to scale up with the growth too.
mercedes are good in luxury cars , not sport cars.
the mclaren-mercedes SLR is not a nice supercar , its just look nice only .

Hey guys.. i wonder .. will one of this crash someday in Malaysian highway ?
cause .. the driver must be wanting to get to the limit.. and if it rains.. i wonder if this car will get out of control at a speed of 250kph+?
Wow..Good for Merc. But for this kind of car, hehe i will always go for the P.. The Porsche…yeah THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE…Yeehaww !!!!
with so many hits a month i am pretty sure that 700rm is peanuts for you paul. you're the most ultra modest person ive come across. which is good.
that amg in kuching is a bit of a waste. but then again if he has one in kuching, he would have alot more elsewhere in the world.
hameed koyakuti, the CLK-GTR is not based on the SLR, it is based on the CLK. totally different car.
and that is not the HWA AMG supercar in the photo above…
